A heavy, block-built sans with deliberately irregular contours and subtly shifting widths from glyph to glyph. Strokes are thick and mostly monolinear, with corners that feel chamfered or slightly rounded, as if cut from paper or carved by hand. Counters are small and sometimes angular, and many joins and terminals show gentle wobble rather than geometric precision. The overall rhythm is bouncy and uneven in a controlled way, producing a textured silhouette that stays readable at display sizes.
Best suited to display typography such as posters, titles, packaging, labels, and playful branding where personality is more important than typographic neutrality. It also works well for short bursts of text—captions, badges, and UI callouts in games or kids-oriented projects—where its bold silhouette maintains impact.
The font projects a playful, mischievous tone—more crafty and handmade than technical. Its chunky forms and quirky edges suggest comic signage, kids’ media, or a “cutout” aesthetic, giving headlines an energetic, informal voice.
The design appears intended to capture a handmade, cut-paper/woodblock feel within a simple sans framework, trading strict geometry for character. Its goal is to create immediate visual impact and an approachable, humorous tone for attention-grabbing display settings.
Uppercase and lowercase share the same chunky construction, with single-storey forms where applicable and simplified details throughout. Numerals match the same cutout logic and feel sturdy and poster-friendly, while tight apertures and compact counters increase the visual density in longer lines of text.
